Officially a Suzuki Teacher

It's all official now.  My transcript with the Suzuki Association of the Americas has been updated to show the completion of my program!  YAY :)

And what's really exciting is that I've already been hired to teach at two schools!

I started teaching at Turtle Bay Music School in July, but my regular classes/lessons will start in the fall.  I was hired to be part of their Suzuki Cello faculty and teach in their Saturday Music Program.  So far, I really love it there.  It isn't a full Suzuki school, but it's a great place with fantastic employees and students.  They have wonderful outreach programs and really strive to help in the community.

Don't you love that red door?!  Such a neat building.

I've also been offered a position at the Suzuki Music School of Westport, which is in Westport, Connecticut.  It is an incredible opportunity to teach in a fully Suzuki atmosphere with all Suzuki trained teachers and incredible committed families.  It just takes a subway, train, and cab to get there.  :)  I'm really looking forward to starting there in the fall too!

Like I've posted about before, during the course, I taught a cute little girl named Anna.  Her mom recently sent me some pictures from our final concert and festival.  Thought I'd include those too! :)

and some of the students (Maddie, Anna, Declan, Anwyn, Ana, and John) trying to get a good picture...

Hooray for completing the course AND getting jobs!  So glad we decided I should be part of this opportunity.  I'm really looking forward to teaching at these two schools!
